God herself help me, but I just may be willing to take this job. (Though, honestly, the smart-money says we get a pro in here for that).


STABILITY AND CONTROL

See the AIRPLANE description in the appropriate section of this site for a description of the data-acquisition and presentation systems that I have planned, since that is technically part of the AIRPLANE, built in right from the start, so not actually part of the FLIGHT-TEST program.

Once the first plane is done, we fly it to fill out the form below (plus whatever we add that I have not thought of yet) and BLOG THE HELL OUT OF IT at X-Plane.com... we blather out every teeny detail of performance at X-Plane.com for all to see. We tell all so that many can feel in some small way a part of the flight-test program, and see just what the airplane does. One minute AFTER enough spaces in the total performance table have been filled in from ACTUAL FLIGHT-TEST to know what this plane really does, I will ask the world if anyone other than me wants this airplane for himself. If he does.. come on and build it!

I do not know what goes in here yet, but the flight-test professional pilot will submit an update to this web page to me before first-flight, so that we all see exactly what is being done.
